Thursday Links
The Register Guard's Jack Moran broke a story this morning about a car accident involving Darron Thomas, Eddie Pleasant and a friend. According to the report, Pleasant, the driver, allegedly was racing someone on Gateway and lost control into oncoming traffic. Pleasant, along with the passenger in car they crashed into were taken to the new hospital in Springfield. According to Moran's story, everyone involved has since been released from the hospital. Thomas was never hospitalized.
On a lighter note, The Guard's Rob Moseley did a profile on Sonny Harris, and Adam Jude did a story on the emergence of LeGarrette Blount.
John Hunt of The Oregonian reported the return of WT3 to practice on Wednesday, making him eligible in Bellotti's eyes to play Saturday - Thursday is his cutoff day that a player must practice by to be able to play that week. However, he also noted that Justin Roper was not in pads and probably won't play.
Ty Hildenbrandt of SI.com breaks down the Oregon QB injuries since October of last season.
Crossing state lines brings us to the Seattle Times and Bud Withers, who explores the devastating QB problems the Cougars are having - and, yes, devastating is the right word for a fractured vertebrae and a broken bone in a back.
Also, Steve had some questions earlier in the week about redshirt eligibility rules. Here's a link to the NCAA's official rules and guidelines. And here's the definition of what a Grayshirt is - it's something I've always wondered about too.
And here's all you would ever need to know about Steve's new best friend Colin Cowherd. Looks like he graduated from Eastern Washington and spent most of his career in the Northwest, with a short stint as a TV anchor in Florida.
This one is for Hockey Todd.
According to Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross of The San Francisco Chronicle, those tree-sitters in Berkeley are going to lose a lot more than just the trees. Here's one of the weirder stories I've seen about marketing to rivals. Really UCLA? Fresno State coach Pat Hill made we at Sports Talk like him a little more. And an Ad UCLA put out this week you have to see to believe. I think I just found my new wallpaper.

A Gracious Thank You... I'll be there on opening night and encourage all to fill the place this season. It really is a good time for the whole family, VERY affordable and fast paced fun.
Love the Thursday links you are putting together, Keep it up!
Bummer about the car accident thing, seems as we have been fairly lucky or fortunate with most of the student athletes to this point. Hopefully it's a wake up call to others for on and off campus behavior.
Nice to see WT3 will be back I think we will need him most for the trip to USC. I certainly hope we don't look too far ahead to that one this weekend.
I don't know if you've heard, but some folks over at Troy took the UCLA add and went PhotoShoping with it. They made it say, "The Football Monopoly in Los Angeles is Officially over THERE." Making it look like the weasel is pointing to Troy.
